Hey scott
Have you used anything in the powerstrap-a-likes to stiffen them/keep them sprung out in an arch?
The real ones seem to use a fold and the type of the material to do it. I tried using zipties affixed inside. That, along with having mine velcro adjustable, didn't work very well. After not too long if you mis judged it and stood on the strap it wouldn't pop back up when you tried again, and I would spend a while trying to flick it up with my toe before giving up and having to ride unclipped untill the next set of lights.
Anyway they look cool, and make me want to have another go at making mine work.
ps. stop making random cool things for emilie and get on with our bags :)
